104 // [voice / action]

[It's been just about two weeks since Yuri's return to Luceti. He mostly kept to himself during this time, wanting to make certain he had most - if not all - of his memories of Luceti back before he made it clear that he was around again. ... And of course, before taking control of Brave Vesperia again. Seeing his guildmates and having no clue who half of them were wouldn't exactly win him any points with them, after all.

But now, he was sure he remembered most things. ... Little details weren't around, but he didn't see the details as being nearly as important as faces and names. Regardless, he decided that he'd done enough waiting around and flipped open his journal.]

[ voice ]

I guess I've put this off long enough. [... Geez, what does he even say? "Hey guys, I'm back, in case someone didn't know!" Wow, that's kind of lame. Uhm.] So ... for those who know me, I'm back again - and I remember most things, as far as I can tell. For those who've got no clue who I am ... I wouldn't worry about it. I'm just one of those guys who keeps winding up here for whatever reason. You know, one of the "lucky" ones. [You could practically hear the quotes around 'lucky'.]

Anyway, I'll be taking charge of Brave Vesperia again over the next few days. So, if you've got any business with the guild and need to contact the guy in charge, send a message out to Yuri Lowell. I'll get back to you when I can. Also, if any guild members have anything they feel should be brought to my attention or anything like that, just let me know.

[Hm ... Yeah, that should be good enough. Although, there is one last thing ...]

... Aside from all that, I've got a question. Does anyone know just who was in charge of that training school thing from a while back? I've got a few things to ask them, if they're still around.

[ action ]

[Aside from that bit of business he had to take care of, Yuri's also at the battle dome, trying to get used to using the control panel for it again. ... Sure, he's only got it to do basic things (send out monsters in a typical grassy field), but it's something. He'll figure the rest of it out later.

So yes, feel free to run into him while he tries to figure out how to do more than just super basic things with the battle dome, or even catch him while he's training there.]

[...well, this is something he can't really ignore, can he?]

Why do you ask about the Training School?

... We had a training school? [In other words no, he has no idea.]

Great, 'cause d'you know how many people want someone to build stuff? We need you to wave them off.

[...Wow okay she missed...saying stuff like that to somebody.]

I'd say welcome back, but I don't think you'd appreciate it.

[... He's getting this weird, sinking feeling about this whole training school business. Especially since it's Alexei of all people who's asking about it.

Man, he really doesn't want to talk to this guy ...]

What should that matter to you?

[Cold, as usual, but at least he kept himself from being nasty about it.]

Apparently so. I totally forgot about it myself until someone reminded me ...

[ ... ]

Ah, right. I don't think you were even here when it first came up.

Hah, I bet. Don't worry, I'll make sure to wave off any summer home requests we get.

[... Maybe he shouldn't say that too loud. Someone might decide to get cheeky and ask for a summer home. Good thing Sheena said more than just those first few lines--]

But hey, while I'm not exactly thrilled to be back here, it's still nice to see you again, Sheena.

[Yuri might notice a familiar mop of pink hair peeking in on him.]

Oh, Yuri!

[She then comes to stand in a few feet from him.]

What are you doing here?

[Fancy meeting you here. Estelle has pretty much left him alone for the most part after her first day. Letting him have his space.]

[Hrm, trying to figure out these battle dome controls again ... oh--]

Huh? [Oh, Estelle's here too. That throws him off a bit, as he's used to only fighters or new people coming by this-- ... ohhhh, right, that must be why.] Just trying to figure this thing out again. What are you doing here, Estelle?

[Estelle comes a little closer and looks at the controls. Sorry Yuri, she can't help you there. She has no clue.

She can fight too, you know. Even though that's not the reason she's here.]

I read that there is a medical facility here. I came to see.

Edited 2012-07-21 00:01 (UTC)

Because that school is being run by myself and one other. So however you feel about me, I am involved. [Alexei certainly feels the same way about not wanting to deal with Yuri right now.]

What is it that you want to know?

The more things change, the more they stay the same, hm?

[ Ohai it's that other Yuri.

...She needed to talk to him, actually. Thank god she has a nickname. Yurippe clicks the video on, best to talk face to face. With her journal propped up on her desk, Yuri's got her hands free to rest her cheek on her right palm. ]

Brave Vesperia does building projects, right?

[.....................

-- okay, you know what? He can deal with this. Sure, the guild has a rep for building things, and almost no one in the guild likes that rep and probably weeps daily into their pillows at night because of it, but he can get them out of this! Maybe he just needs to start small, doing something like--]

... That's what most people hire us out for lately, but that's not all we do.

Heh, yeah, it seems that way.

[ ... ]

It's good to see you again, Raine.

... Ah, right. I almost forgot this place had one of those. [He glances off in the direction of said medical facility.] It's right over there. It's a little empty, from what I remember of it, but I'm pretty sure some people work there every so often.

I know it's not, but that's what I need your help with. I want to run a coffee shop, but there aren't any buildings and the house I live in isn't fit for a business [ Way too loud, they scream a lot there ] and I want a large underground basement for it too. I can offer people to train with for other things besides building, since live training is a lot more effective than anything the battledome can come up with and I guarantee we won't be trying to record your movement patterns or whatever it is the Malnosso do with the information they gather from the battledome.

[ She just assumes they do. It's what she'd do if she were some kind of creepy organization who experiments on people. Either way, live training will be beneficial for more than just Brave Vesperia, she figures. ]

Also I'll put a priority table in for Brave Vesperia members in the coffee house and if I need anything else, provided that you do a decent job it'll be a continual business relationship. Sound good?

[ Well, she knows what she wants at least. Pleasantries and conversations can come after she gets what she came for. ]

[... OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE--

... Dammit. The guild needs the sort of break possibly taking over the training school could give them, but this is Alexei. He doesn't want to ask this guy for the time of day, let alone something like this ...

It's clear he's not pleased by this turn of events, but he responds. He lets out an annoyed sigh first, and then slaps on a filter in case things go south (his personal grudges - and what they're discussing - are no one else's business, after all), but hey.]

... From what I understand, that school of yours hasn't done anything for a long while. Brave Vesperia was considering the option of taking charge of it and starting it up again.

[... Well, he was all right with all this until he heard "underground basement". That's a little ...]

Wait, couldn't you just use the tunnels or the barracks for that sort of thing, instead of some basement? Not sure about that tunnel system, but the barracks were built here by someone else, not the Malnosso - so it doesn't have any of the things they use to monitor us there. I mean, I don't mind having to put together a coffee shop, and I'm with you on the live training part, but we don't exactly have the resources to be building basements like that.

[If he knew a certain earthbender, maybe, but welp.]

[....hah. Smart move, Yuri. There's a pause as he hears Yuri's request. Really, it was kind of unexpected to hear Yuri ask anything from him, and it was obvious he really didn't want to ask Alexei any favors.

And this was for that guild of there's? Does he know where he stood when it came to guilds?]

I only recently reclaimed the school since I was not actually made aware I had founded it for some time. A memory from my previous time here apparently. I plan to re-instate the school, so I can't say I can accept that kind of request right now. [To be honest, he thought Yuri would stop there after realizing Alexei was one of the owners]

What would Brave Vesperia do with the school anyway?

[ She does know Aang fortunately, and he already offered to help with the foundations.. ]

If I can get someone else to open up the ground for a basement, can you just build upward from there? It'd be like a two story building, except one story is underground, right?

Shouldn't that be obvious?

[Ugh. UGH. Dammit. Being nasty won't get him this, even if he's getting the feeling he should just give up or pass this on the Raven or something. Maybe he'll just say some obvious things he doesn't mind sharing with anyone/sees as being more or less public knowledge or easy to assume, but after this, maybe he should just call it quits ...]

... Most of the guild is made up of fighters. Working with the school would be a better use of our resources than building crap all the time. That's why we want it.

[... Well, sure, he's sounding less and less like he cares about being civil, but at least he's only on the "obviously grumpy about everything" stage.]

[Yuri pauses for a moment. The basement was really the only glaring problem he had with her request, but if someone else does it, then ...]

... If someone else does that part of it, then yeah, it should be possible. [ ... ] So, how big of a place are we talking here?

And so here you are, requesting my aid to make your guild useful.

[He says in a rather amused tone. Be grumpy all you want Yuri, that just amuses Alexei.]

I may consider a compromise. The school will need teachers and students.

A medium sized coffee house. I want there to be space for chairs and tables if people want to sit and relax, a counter and a glass case for stuff like biscotti, fruit bowls, things like that... Then I need space for espresso machines, et cetera. I don't want it too cramped, but the spot I picked out has plenty of room and it'll be right next to the water, so if I could get those huge windows that pane out over the stream that'd be great.

Also the building should be hexagon shaped because there aren't any other hexagons in Luceti.

[That amused tone doesn't slip by Yuri in the least. It's pretty clear from his expression that it right pissed him off, too - not that he thinks Alexei will run off and cry about it or whatever, but stll.]

If I knew you were going to be in charge of this thing, I wouldn't have even bothered. [Stating the obvious, but whatever. He's getting to a point where he really doesn't want to continue things, especially when he's in a position where he feels less like he's trying to be civil and more like he's forcing himself to be nice to someone he can't stand.

... Maybe he should back out of this conversation before he explodes over something stupid. Even if it's Alexei, if they could somehow wrestle this out from his control or something along those lines ...] But fine. Consider it, and get back to either me or Raven with an answer. Don't take your time with that, either. We've got better things to do than wait around.

[He manages to hold back on making that last line nastier, if only to avoid some kind of "well then I take back my possible compromise" situation. Man is that annoying ... Although, he takes one quick mental note: tell Raven about this. Especially since he's got a feeling Raven could probably handle this sort of situation better than he ever could.]
